A table in J. VanderKam & P. Flint "The Meaning of the DSS" (p. 143),
summarizing the research of Tov, gives these figures:

47% of DSS biblical texts reflect MT
47% are "non-aligned"
3,3 % reflect LXX
2,5 % reflect Samaritan Pentateuch

Obviously a lot may be subject to discussion here (e.g.: The non-aligned
texts follow now this school now another -- and frequently have a completely
independent version -- but do they show a tendency toward favouring one
school over the other?), but the general picture is hardly going to be
contested by anyone.
